Elara
Elara’s heat is coming…
And there is only one place in the galaxy that is safe—Omega Station.
After years of grooming and hiding behind the sanctuary’s protective walls, Elara wants a way out—any one really, as long as she can travel the stars.
The only way an Omega can leave the space station is by binding herself to an Alpha and his pack—permanently.
Simple right?
But when Elara steps foot into the Den of Alphas, all bets are off.
Bombarded by attractive males with their dashing looks and delicious aromas, all of them promising a life fulfilled with pampering and care.
It was then Elara realized her choice would be impossible…
How can she choose who she wants to live the rest of her life with when they all seemed too good to be true?

Finally an ABGO that isn't depressingly dark
Elara is ready. As an omega she's sheltered on the station. No fresh air, no sunshine, no pack. Her caretaker is wonderful but doesn't replace what she's lacking. She needs to set an appointment for the Den, choose an alpha and claim a pack. And soon. Biology is not going to wait very long.
Spoilers ahead.
I can't praise authors enough for ensuring that consent is woven into their stories. And when you take on genres like ABO/ABGO it's even more noteworthy. I have a lot of questions about the gender/sub-gender/roles and other terms used but the story was sweet, gentle and interesting.
*Is ABGO considered a sub-gender? As in you can present male or female but your designation is what shows with puberty?
*Are female alphas just dominant or does it affect their role in reproduction, too? Same question for male omegas.
*Gammas seem to be on a demisexual scale. Some preferring to be only caretakers, some pairing up, but do they ever join a pack? Need a pack? BTW, I love that they're immune (for the most part) and defend not only omegas but betas.
*Will we learn why the dynamic imbalance is happening?
*What happens when the alphas they forced to be rich and have superior spacecraft decide to take a page from history to prevent going mad?
I know that the upload system caused some problems for this one and that's the reason for having more errors in this release. So I'm not going to fuss because I know plans are already in place for an update once the rollout is complete. I'm just glad that I found a book in a genre I have come to avoid for it's lack of consent, encouragement of brutality, and stunning use of torture as entertainment. I don't need fluffy bunnies and unicorns, but finishing a book and knowing I won't have nightmares is really nice. I can't wait to see this universe expand.

Short and Sweet
This one was a short and sweet read and definitely set up a premise for major conflict in future books in the series.

Not the best
This was so disappointing. I hate saying that because I really like this author (her project Adapt series is awesome) but this one just really missed the mark. The whole thing felt rushed and the editing was very sloppy. There are several typos and they're jarring enough that they kept pulling me out of the story. A large portion of the book was written in passive voice as opposed to active (Elara was consumed by her heat vs. The heat consumed Elara). There were also several over-used words that got annoying after awhile (Things happened "suddenly" or "instantly" almost every page).
But, I did really love the world that this was set in. I'm totally here for the omegaverse trend that's taking the RH world by storm right now and a scifi spin on it is so cool. I probably will read the next book because I do really like this author and I think this one was just a bit of dud.

A very disappointing omegaverse romance.
I had been eagerly anticipating release day for this novel, and the read was deeply disappointing. I love omegaverse and sci-fi romance, and I like a lot of stand-alone RH, so I was really looking forward to reading this novel. However, the writing skill and editing quality were so atrocious that I was completely unable to enjoy it. In addition, the world building was not great and there wasn’t much of a plot to speak of. I can’t really speak to the quality of the characterization or relationship development because the constant grammatical and word choice errors in every sentence were so disruptive that I couldn’t focus on the story itself. I can only hope that the author accidentally loaded an uncorrected draft to Amazon instead of the edited version, because otherwise, this writing and editing quality is completely unacceptable for an author at this stage in her career. It is deeply unprofessional, if so.

A very sweet story
This was a sweet and light hearted read. I know that there were some issues with the original upload and with Amazon not allowing the author to get it corrected. Despite all of that, the story came across well and was very good and well written. The characters were well developed and well written and everything went together smoothly.

Elara
I enjoyed this story. I really liked Luca, Jaxom, Seth, and Elara. Some parts of the story felt rushed while other parts were explained in detail. The world building was incredibly intriguing and the overall storyline if its what I think it will be will be awesome. Hopefully the next book Nova is better than what is described so far. I would recommend this book.

I enjoyed reading this sweet Omegaverse! The storyline and world were original, i flew through reading it, and it was definitely sweet, with some sexy thrown in! I liked the setup for future books in the series 🤞 I'm intrigued by Nova and the little blurb we got at the end! My one complaint was that the epilogue felt very rushed. Hopefully, we see more of this pack in the future.

Too smooth? I like some action, some drama to heighten my own emotions and feel everything along with the main character. This read was so easy that it was lacking in this sense. I liked the space adition to the omegaverse, it worked just fine and was in fact a plus for me. But the story in itself just fell somewhat flat.

What else can you want?
Elara snagged herself a triad who wanted nothing more but an omega. I love how caring they are and respectful about boundaries.
It's an interesting story and I wonder what's going to happen to Jaxom’s sister in the next book.

sweet but...
It was a good read. Her pack was super sweet, focused on consent and care. I love this and it's very important to me. But... There's no plot, nothing to connect the story or help the characters grow. It was a slice of life that became quite boring.

RH Omegaverse
I really love this book and loved the characters. You can’t go wrong with three hot men. One Alpha and two betas and to the mix, one feisty Omega to claim them all!

Sweet & Sexy read
I enjoyed this sweet, easy omega verse read. I liked the characters and their dynamics. All in all it was a fun, flirty read.

Not bad but could use more editing
This would normally be a 3 but there were enough editing issues to knock it down a star for me.
